If you're sick, do you go to school/work? I know some people who come to work sniffing and coughing all day, I think it's pretty gross. At the same time, I see some people who take the day off for a broken nail (slight exaggeration). Personally, I go to work when I'm feeling ill, but if I know I'm going to annoy people with constant sniffing and all that, then I just call in saying I'm too sick to work. If I'm actually ill in the digestive-system way, then I stay home, too.
i go to school most the time if im ill just take some calpol in the morning and im fine i badly sprained my toe a while back and it hurt to walk to i had to have a few days off then i re injured it and had another 3 days off
Along a similar line to BoB. If it's just feeling weak and flushed, I'll brave it out. If it's going to be a mission for me to last the day, I'll stay at home.
I used to take any excuse to get off of school. If I just had a cold or a headache I wouldn't go; but I rarely get sick so that didn't happen.
Though if I had meningitis-or something else highly contagious and deadly-I would make a point of making it into school.
More often than not, I'll phone in sick if I'm not feeling too well. Unfortunately, this can cause certain members of staff to taunt me for weeks "because I'm a weak man who can't cope with a little bit of a cold". The way I see things is that if you're genuinely ill, you should take some time off work to recover (that is if you can afford to be off). When my workmates arrive with colds, coughs and other viruses, it makes me feel very uncomfortable. Plus, I'll probably catch the virus within a few days, thus causing even more work absences for my boss to have to cope with.
Attenting work whilst ill = stupid.
It depends on how sick I am, how long I'll be working, what I'll be having to do, and when I last worked. But I'm rarely ever sick.
I'll stay home if I can get away with it but I dont mind braving it out.
I stay home for fevers and infections(viruses, sinus infections, etc). I'll go to classes and/or work with a cold or bad allergies or headache, or whatever, depending on what's going on that day and how bad it is(if I have a really bad headache and sod all to do that day, I'll stay home).
Im hardly ever ill, pfft..,but when i am, i usually get sent to school.. ooh memorys..
"get your cereal eaten amy!!"
"uh.. but Dad... im really not well..."
i was sick in the toilets and you'll never geuss what i brought up,
Frosted flakes :mad:
I definitely try to get out of it when I'm ill...
...and sometimes when I'm not.
It depends upon the severty of the illness.
If I have a cough or a cold i will go to work, but that is because i get over that sort of thing very quickly.
Anything of a more serious nature will probably mean I am bed-ridden and thus unable to get to work even if I wanted to.
I have to be incapacitatingly sick or contagious not to go to work. I save my sick days for hangovers and going to the beach.
No one wants to go school
if i'm feeling really poo i'll have the day off.
i was pretty/really ill the other week so i had a week off uni. it was fun!
I feel guilty staying home when I'm sick. ;_; So I don't do it very often. Lol.

Like others have said, it depends how sick I am. If I just have a little cold and I'll have a little bit of a coughing trouble here and there, I'll go to school. If I'm constantly hacking up my lungs then I'll stay home.
My mummie forces me to stay home (if and when I'm sick). >=/ BAD.
I work at home, so the only way I can get out of it is if I...
I still go to work and school. To hell with my classmates and co-workers!
Unless I'm really sick (I haven't been sick since 10/14/94), I usually attend.
I lean more towards the "take off from school for slight things."
I generally don't think thrice, usually not even twice, about missing some classes if I'm ill. None of my classes this quarter even grade on attendance.
If I'm ill and it's contagious then I'll stay home.
With some things - colds etc it gets better as the day goes on and I find school takes my mind off it. But if it is bad then I will stay at home.
Chaos
I take the day off when I am sick, as well as taking the day off whenever I feel like it.
I rarely get sick enough that my parents would allow me to stay home from school. The only time I do stay home is when I've carefully crafted it so I actually seem like I'm really sick.
If I do get sick, sometimes I stay home and not go into University. But it's usually been laziness and being really tired that makes me skip Uni instead. And when I did have a job, I would definitely not go in when I was sick. Working around food while being sick is definitely not a good look.
I usually always go to school, whether I'm sick or not. :(
There's a rule at my school that you're not aloud to go if you have something contagious.
I go to school.
When people say 'omg you're pale as a ghost and you look like you're about to throw up' and lead me to the nurse's office, I'll go home.
If I can physically do it I usually will. I've taken a lot of sick time this year, it's been pretty bad.
I never get to stay home; unless it's easy to see that I'm sick.
i've already graduated, but i'm back for an extra semester to boost my marks. I have two spares in the morning, so I don't need to go to school til 11.
Well for the past few months, I've been going to college but I've been off quite alot. Now at the start of the term I was Anaemic and I had glandular fever. So my doctor gave a note of why I would be ill and that there would be times when I would be too ill to come in, either way, I still phoned in to college or my mum did. Lately my illnesses have been getting worse, I'm not anaemic anymore or neither do I have glandular fever, but instead I've been diagnosed with M.E a basic sleeping disorder which makes you very ill. It also tires you out alot easier. Mentally and Physically. And while I've been going out getting these blood tests to see if I did have M.E. They've kicked me out of college. With lack of support or help. The doctors informed them that I now have M.E and that it was unfair kicking me out whilst having an illness such as this. Theres not really much to do about the situation other than placing a complaint.
I think some organisations need to read up on some of the illnesses that their employee's / students may have, as it is quite rediculous to allow someone who is off practically all the time, to stay there/at college (one of my mates had constantly bunked off college and she's still there now.) and then kick someone who has a proper illness which can prevent certain things in life out.
